Many things in this world depend on timing.
Just like when he was faced with Zheng Tianyu's behavior in Sishui Prefecture, Xia Jingyun never believed in coincidences.
Something happened to the head of the Su family, which was like a fuse that led to so many things that followed.
But just after so many things were resolved at a tragic cost, the head of the Su family, who had been unconscious, happened to wake up.
If you said there was nothing in it, Xia Jingyun would feel like you were insulting his intelligence.
Is it possible that the head of the Su family, who has always been indifferent and only cares about the mountains and rivers, is the one who is really behind the scenes?
This is not right either!
He is now the head of the family, what can he gain?
What kind of mentality does he have to be able to secretly control things and make things develop like this, sacrificing the lives of his two brothers?
Moreover, the fourth son of the Su family has colluded with the layout master who is still hiding in the dark in Zhongjing City. This is something that the fourth son of the Su family has proved with his life. Could it be said that the fourth son of the Su family has also colluded with the head of the Su family?
Or, is it possible that the head of the Su family knew about this and took advantage of the situation?
But, going around and around, it’s still the same sentence, what is he trying to do?
He is the head of the family himself, and his power and prestige are not comparable to that of Su Yanyan. If he really wants to cleanse the family and rectify the family tradition, he only needs one sentence, so why use such methods?
After much thought, Xia Jingyun still couldn't figure out the key and simply gave up.
This has always been his habit. When a road is blocked, don't think about quarreling. Change the posture and the scene, and maybe things will work out.
Su Yanyan had already left, so he took Bai Yunbian with him to the library in Sujiawu.
Because Su Yanyan sent someone to say hello, Xia Jingyun and Bai Yunbian entered smoothly, and also obtained very high authority. Except for the top floor of the three-story library, they could browse all the books at will.
Although Bai Yunbian has a strange temperament, his talents and learning are still real, and Yizhou Jieyuan is a real person, not to mention Xia Jingyun. Although the two young people were full of worries, they held the book in their hands and quickly became immersed in it.
Xia Jingyun mainly reads books on geography, mountains and rivers, people's livelihood, and history. It is still the established thinking at the moment. He must first learn as much as possible about the world before he can survive in the troubled times that seem to be more and more likely to come in the future. Make the right choice.
But Baiyunbian was different. He only stared at the celebrity anecdotes with great interest, and his eyes lit up from time to time. It was obvious that he had seen another famous scene and imagined that he was the protagonist in it.
The sun turned away, bidding farewell to the lake with a golden glow, and slowly sank into the mountains and forests.
Xia Jingyun, urged by the thunder in his belly, reluctantly put down the book for the time being.
After going back to eat something, he returned to the library.
Bai Yunbian didn't follow him this time. He had gained too much today and he needed to digest it before he could apply what he had learned.
It was late and cold in the night, and Xia Jingyun walked out of the library and returned to the courtyard with Chen Fugui, who had been waiting outside.
"Brother Chen, thank you for your hard work."
Chen Fugui smiled and shook his head, "Miss Rouge told me before that it was her honor to be with the young master. I just thought it was because she was looking down on herself or because of deep love. But now it seems that it is indeed the case, so the young master Don’t be so harsh.”
Xia Jingyun laughed, "Mr. Bai may like your words very much, but to me, we are people walking together on the road, so these words are enough."
Back in the courtyard, Xie Yanzhi had prepared hot water early. After taking a bath, she helped him dry the water on his body, and he helped her.
A night of silence.
When the light came back on, the sun did not appear. After a few days of unseasonably warm sunshine, Dongting Lake finally turned its heavy water vapor into clouds, covering the sky above Sujiawu where it should have been sunny after rain. haze.
Without the sunshine, the moist wind seemed to blow into the cracks of the bones, revealing a bone-chilling cold from the inside out.
Xia Jingyun also added a black cloak and stood tall. With the recovery of nutrition and hard work day and night, his former weakness had completely faded away. His sharp facial lines and tall figure were swaying slightly in the wind. And the corners of the clothes are beautiful.
It also goes well with the chilling winter.
When Su Yanyan came to the small courtyard, his eyes were dazzled by the beautiful scene in front of him.
"Mr. Xia is so handsome and handsome, and Xiao Su is so cheerful. It's really refreshing."
Xia Jingyun smiled and said: "I think the eldest lady also understands the state of mind when we look at you."
Su Yanyan covered her mouth and chuckled, "Does it sound too confident to speak like this?"
Xia Jingyun hummed, "For me, it is true, but for the eldest lady, it is a matter of course and as it should be."
The smile on Su Yanyan's face became brighter and brighter, as if the sky was getting a little brighter.
"I'm not here to hear you say nice things. I have two things to say to you."
"Why don't we go in and talk?"
Su Yanyan smiled and shook his head, "No need. The first thing is that I sent a letter to Zhoucheng the day before yesterday, and received a reply last night. Uncle Yuan Shang has been released, dismissed from office and returned to his hometown. Although he failed to keep his official position, he still Keep your innocence."
When Xia Jingyun heard this, he immediately showed surprise, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Miss."
Su Yanyan shook his head, "Young Master Xia, there is no need to be polite. Uncle Yuan Shang is from my Su family. This is what we should do. It's just that due to the disputes in the clan a few days ago, he suffered a lot. I can't I’ll use this as a favor in front of you.”
Xia Jingyun stopped being polite upon hearing this, "What about the second one?"
Su Yanyan's smile faded and her expression became solemn, "Father wants to see you."
Xia Jingyun was horrified.
Su family, big room.
Su Yanyan was sitting in the boudoir, looking out the window absentmindedly.
The maid brought tea and said with a smile: "Miss, the master of the house has woken up. The most difficult time is over, isn't it? Why are you still looking so sad?"
Su Yanyan didn't say anything. The surprise she felt after hearing the good news last night slowly settled down. Her rationality quietly returned, and she also discovered something fishy.
But the son never said his father's fault. There were some things she couldn't say, but there were some people she still wanted to worry about.
When she followed her gaze over the ridges of the roofs, three people were slowly climbing the mountain road in Sujiawu, which was so conspicuous that most people had seen it from a distance, but few people had been able to explore it.
One is today's guest of honor, Xia Jingyun, one is the owner of the village, Mr. Zhao, who has come to accompany him, and the other is the owner of this room, the head of the Su family, Su Yuanzheng, who has been "coma" in bed for several days.
The three of them walked like this, no one said a word, and only the slightest sound of breathing and gasping could be heard on the mountain road.
Xia Jingyun suddenly stopped, and the owner of the village, Mr. Zhao and the head of the Su family, also stopped and looked at him doubtfully.
Looking at the rosy face of the head of the Su family, Xia Jingyun bowed his hands and said, "Master of the Su family, is it convenient to talk here? This junior has a question to ask."
"This mountain is the forbidden area of our Su family, so just say so." The head of the Su family smiled slightly, "I thought you would hold it in for a long time, because you wanted to ask why I took you to climb the mountain?"
Xia Jingyun shook his head and stared into the other person's eyes rather impolitely, "I would like to ask, is Mr. Su alive?"
The confident smile of the head of the Su family suddenly froze on his face, with a look of shock and disbelief.
"Hahahaha!" Mr. Zhao, the owner of the village, laughed loudly and patted Xia Jingyun on the shoulder, "Go up, you will know everything when you go up the mountain."
If there are some direct lineage members on the mountainside who can be summoned, then the top of the mountain is an absolutely forbidden area for the Su family.
Because after the death of the old husband, his tomb was built directly on the top of the mountain, overlooking the 800-mile Dongting day and night, paying tribute to the heroic life of his life with the vast smoke.
Under the leadership of the head of the Su family, Xia Jingyun passed through the checkpoints and reached the top of the mountain.
There is a tomb on the top of the mountain. It is well repaired, but for a family like the Su family, it seems a bit shabby.
If Xia Jingyun had seen this scene before today, he might have thought that the Su family felt that the death of their old husband was too painful, so they stopped the coffin here and planned to bury him in the ancestral grave after returning from revenge.
But now, looking at the tombstone, another thought came to Xia Jingyun's mind.
The head of the Su family walked to the tomb and turned a mechanism. The stone slab in front of the tomb slid open silently, revealing a long, narrow and deep passage.
The head of the Su family glanced at Xia Jingyun and stretched out his hand, "Mr. Xia, please."
Xia Jingyun stepped in without hesitation and seemed not to be afraid at all.
Mr. Zhao, the owner of the village, looked at the head of the Su family with a smile, "Tell me about you, people have already guessed it, can you still scare them?"
After speaking, he stepped forward to follow. The head of the Su family sighed and walked in.
The stone slab closed slowly and tightly, as if nothing had happened.
There should be ventilation holes in the dark secret passage, so it doesn't feel stuffy. There are some night beads placed along the way, giving off enough light to see the way ahead.
After walking about a hundred meters, the vision suddenly opened up.
Light shines from the holes in the mountainside, and a stream flows slowly along the opened track.
It is dotted with flowers and plants all around, and an arch bridge is built on it. In the middle of the mountain, it just creates a normal courtyard scene for a wealthy family.
After walking across the arch bridge and opening a door, the scene in front of him surprised even the experienced Xia Jingyun.
I saw the sky brightening in front of me, large rays of light pouring in through the translucent glass, and an open space of about 100 square meters was dug out in the middle of the mountain.
Four monasteries, a courtyard, and a hall full of flowers and plants.
An old man was sitting at a table, holding a fat black cat in his arms and looking at him with a smile.
Xia Jingyun stepped forward and bowed deeply, "Junior Xia Jingyun from Sishui Prefecture, courtesy name Gaoyang, pays homage to Mr. Su!"
The next chapter will be a few hours later, so I need to think about it carefully.
